True or False
Typhoons and hurricanes are completely different types of storms.
False. Typhoons and hurricanes are fundamentally the exact same type of tropical cyclone. The name simply depends on where in the world they originate. They are called "hurricanes" in the Atlantic and northeastern Pacific, while they are called "typhoons" in the northwestern Pacific. In the Indian Ocean and South Pacific, the term "cyclone" is used.
